ALU Boosts Ultra-Broadband Portfolio

French telecom company Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) recently included a number of innovative solutions to expand its range of Ultra-Broadband Access product line. These new solutions were unveiled at the Broadband World Forum 2013, where Alcatel-Lucent presented itself as a specialist in IP Networking and Ultra-Broadband Access in tune with its Shift Plan initiative.

These new services are designed to enhance the networks of fixed, wireless and cable operators for providing ultra-speed broadband access to subscribers at reduced costs. The new services include Micro-nodes and Motive Service View solutions along with EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) fiber solution that was launched on Oct 16.

Micro-nodes are fixed-access miniature nodes enable operators to increase their network coverage with existing copper infrastructure. These nodes make the VDSL2 (Very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line 2) vectors faster and more cost effective.

Motive Service View requires micro-nodes and EPON Fiber to make the entire network visible by giving a clear picture of the network services and all devices connected by the customers. The valuable information gathered in the process allows the operators to provide competent services to the subscribers.
